Cross-compilations on a SPARCstation for MINIX ST are no problem --
the 'old' GCC port by J. Bammi contains a linker that directly ships
out MINIX ST executables. You only have to fix a single point:

Relocating longs on positions which are not a multiple of 4 gives
an alignment (bus) error on SPARC, you have to copy the item to
a local 'long' variable, perform the relocation, and copy it back
(using bcopy).
